Thermal decomposition as route for silver nanoparticles

Abstract: Single crystalline silver nanoparticles have been synthesized by thermal decomposition of silver oxalate in water and in ethylene glycol. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was employed as a capping agent. The particles were spherical in shape with size below 10 nm. The chemical reduction of silver oxalate by PVA was also observed. Increase of the polymer concentration led to a decrease in the size of Ag particles. Ag nanoparticle was not formed in the absence of PVA. Antibacterial activity of the Ag colloid was studied … Show more

“…A number of approaches are available for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles for example facile method [6] , thermal decomposition of silver compounds [7] , electrochemical [8] , sonochemical [9] , microwave assisted process [10] and recently via green chemistry route [11] . Unfortunately, many of the nanoparticle synthesis or production methods involve the use of hazardous chemicals, low material conversions, high energy requirements, difficult and wasteful purifications.…”

“…12 Entre os métodos físicos de síntese, destacam-se: (i) síntese por feixe atômico: átomos metálicos são vaporizados (e.g., vaporização de um alvo metálico por laser ou por resistência elétrica) e, na fase gasosa, condensam-se e aglomeram-se com o auxílio de um gás de arraste inerte usados para prevenir a colisão e a coalescência entre as partículas; 13 (ii) implantação iônica: íons metálicos com altas energias são implantados sobre uma matriz inerte e se aglomeram no interior desta formando a partícula. 14 Entre os métodos químicos, destacam-se: (iii) redução de sais metálicos: os sais são reduzidos na presença de agentes estabilizantes, tais como citrato de sódio, tioéteres, polivinilpirrolidona, que também passivam sua superfície e evitam que os átomos se agreguem muito rapidamente; 15 (iv) decomposição térmica: envolve a decomposição de complexos de metais de transição de baixa valência (geralmente organometálicos) na presença de agentes estabilizantes; 15,16 (v) síntese eletroquímica: partindo da dissolução oxidativa de um metal no ânodo, os íons em solução migram para o cátodo, onde se reduzem na forma atômica, iniciando um processo de nucleação para a formação da partícula. 17 Para extrair informações sobre os nanoclusters e as nanoligas sintetizadas, várias técnicas de caracterização podem ser empregadas.…”
